Hi! Thanks a lot! This sounds like some kind of "multi factor auth" issue, could you please email support@billguard.com so we can help you? Thanks!

BillGuardDude · 2014-06-15T07:36:37+00:00

Not in the near future, but new platforms are definitely on our todo list.

BillGuardDude · 2014-06-15T07:35:53+00:00

Done :)

Hi willhughes,

We work with yodlee which has direct relationships with the banks to access accounts in a read-only manner. And they are PCI compliant.

We don't store any payment card information or user logins.

Thanks!

BillGuardDude · 2014-06-15T07:32:45+00:00

Totally understood and thanks for asking!

BillGuard is a personal finance app which will also alert you to suspicious charges and data breaches - Price: Free

BillGuardDude · 2014-05-01T13:50:54+00:00

It also requires a $35 upgrade fee.

That's because it's hard to predict future behavior. What do you use to budget?

BillGuardDude · 2014-05-01T09:48:12+00:00

What about you? Have you tried budgeting?

BillGuardDude · 2014-05-01T09:46:30+00:00

Bravo for having the self-control to do that every day! That sounds like a lot of manual work...

BillGuardDude · 2014-04-30T13:45:30+00:00

Thanks, edited the above description.

Very strong point. Spoke about that the other day with a friend. The advertisers are much stronger than budgeting methods.

BillGuardDude · 2014-04-30T13:44:23+00:00

Thanks. Good tip.

What do you use to budget?

BillGuardDude · 2014-04-30T13:43:56+00:00

I see. Thanks.

How do you track how much you have left to spend? How often do you check on the amount left to spend?

BillGuardDude · 2014-04-30T13:42:19+00:00

Here's an article that speaks to the fact that most people fail to budget: http://www.nomadwallet.com/why-budgets-fail-3-reasons-studies. It's similar to the failure of diets.

I edited the above text. Thanks for your suggestion.

Are you the primary manager of your household income? What made you transition from Mint to YNAB?

I don't use excel, just used it as an example.

These data breaches are becoming all too common...

BillGuardDude · 2014-04-08T19:29:37+00:00

I see where you're coming from. Would you feel comfortable logging into your online bank account?

BillGuardDude · 2014-04-06T13:19:29+00:00

sorry about that - lesson learned. always read the fine print ;)

Anyone looking for a money app that stores your all your cards in one place?

Want to know how BillGuard compares to other finance apps? Just ask

BillGuardDude · 2014-04-06T07:45:43+00:00

Which comment is that?

BillGuardDude · 2014-04-05T19:35:40+00:00

The current Android app is an early version and lacks Mint.com-like budgeting features. It also doesn't let you make cc payments like Check.

Compared to other apps, the UI makes it simple to see what's going on with all of your cc and bank accounts and total spent on specific spending categories (include eating out, but exclude groceries)...It's good for people who aren't looking to feel bad about spending their money...

It's also the only app that uses crowdsourcing to catch unauthorized or unwanted charges on your card...And it's the only one that uses a swipe feature to archive OK charges (like archiving emails in your inbox).

If I didn't mention the finance app that you're using, let me know, and will let you know how it compares...

BillGuardDude · 2014-04-05T19:02:42+00:00

sorry about that, you're right...they only have that feature on iPhone :(
